FAQs
What is the material composition of these leggings?
These leggings are made from a blend of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, providing comfort with a good amount of stretch.
Are these leggings suitable for intense workouts?
While comfortable for light activities and athleisure, the high cotton content means they may not offer the same sweat-wicking performance as synthetic fabrics designed for intense exercise. They are best for casual wear, yoga, or light walks.
What does 'BCI Cotton' mean?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It's a global not-for-profit organization that promotes better standards in cotton farming, aiming to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector's future.
Do these leggings have pockets?
No, these PUMA Ess Logo Leggings feature a minimalist design and do not include pockets.
How should I wash these leggings to maintain their quality?
For best results, machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Use a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing the printed logo.
Are these leggings squat-proof?
Info needed: Specific testing for squat-proof qualities is not provided in the product description. Generally, for a tight fit and a cotton blend, it is advisable to check opacity with light-colored underwear if using for activities involving deep bending.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to PUMA's size guide. Consider sizing up if you are between sizes or prefer a less restrictive fit.
Fabric appears to be fading or losing color.
Wash leggings inside out to protect the outer surface from friction during the wash cycle. Use cold water and a color-safe detergent.
Pilling (small balls of fabric) on the surface.
Pilling can occur from friction. Wash on a gentle cycle, inside out, and avoid washing with abrasive items like zippers or hooks. A fabric shaver can gently remove existing pills.
Leggings are shrinking after washing.
Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low heat setting, or preferably, air drying. High heat can cause cotton to shrink.
